Making Cheese at Home From a
Small Dairy.

All that is needed is a good-sized wash
tub for a receiving vat and wash boiler
to heat the milk in Two or three Young
America cheese hoops that cost 50 80 each
would be desirable. though most any kind
of hoop will answer. For cheese press,
the hoop may be placed on bench. with
a lever across it, one end being held
stationary by placing under a brace OF
beam. while the weight is applied at the
other end by hanging on an old kettle
filled with iron or stones. Any farmer
should be capable OF fixing cheese press
in two hours. To make good cheese,
pure whole milk from healthy cows is
requisite. The more directly it goes to
the vat, the better. If Kept over night,
reduce the milk to $50 Fahrenheit. Mix
nights and mornings milk when ready
to work. Heat the milk slowly to S49 or
SO. Add your coloring matter and rennet
enough to begin coagulation in 10 to 20
minutes, as desired Cut the curd as soon
as it can be done without waste, as fine as
beechnuts, Slowly raise the temperature,
gently stirring all the while, to 98o. Hold
it there to the end. Draw the whey as
soon as there is the least sign Of acid, or a
little before. Get sufficient rennet action
to expel the whey before the acid de-
velops. Thoroughly stir and air the curd,
to get rid of bad odors and develop flavor.
Put to press not above 800, and place in
an even tempered curing room at Csc to
700. Avoid direct draughts of air, and
carefully turn and rub the cheese, which
will be prime.-D. w. c., in Farm and
Home

A Needless Garden.

1t is real comfort to have a garden
that is freed from weed seeds. Cultiva-
ton is so easy, every farmer if he does
no more, should keep his kitchen garden
free from weeds; be should never permit
any to ripen their seeds. 1t is true this
for the first year or two is some labor, but
it can be done. and it pays to do 1.-THE
way to do it is simple and within the
reach Of abby simply pulling all of the
weeds, and permitting none to rlpen any
seed, and using commercial fertilizers,
the work will be accomplished. The
great mistake which most gardeners make
is in neglecting the garden in August and
September, the very time wher the weeds
grow the best and ripen their seed in the
least possible number of days. Every
weed that is permitted to grow will prob.
ably ripen 10000 seeds. some of them
more than ten times that number. II
does not require any argument to prove
that it would be easier to destroy one
weed in August, than 10000 the follow.
ing spring. SO though an August weed
may not injure the ripening crop, it is
economy TO take particular pains TO de-
strov it before it begins to ripen its seeds.

When to Come West.

Come in the spring time. The almost
universal opinion among those who haze
come hithcr from the Eastern and Middle
States is, that spring is the best period of
the year for migration westward. Then
they have plenty Of time before cold
wealherlo become acclnm,ed, and If they
have the necessary farm tools they can
begin breaking the virgin sod at once. and
may raise a crop of fex the first year. No
one, however should think of coming from
the ol Ter States without having sufficient
funds To carry him through at least the first
year. There may be no grlsshoppers, as
len years ago, 10 devour the crops and
